Pros

Smart People Flexible Hours Great Salary Work is Interesting Managers - Some managers are better than others. I've had fantastic ones, and I've had mediocre ones. Great on a Resume Bottom line, the company is what you make of it. If you're honest and forthcoming about what you want you can make a great career at the company.

Cons

* Poor Morale - There is high turnover for implementation due to the workloads and people not knowing how to manage their time. This bleeds to other areas of the company. * VB6 - Enough said * Managers - Some managers are better than others. I've had fantastic ones, and I've had mediocre ones. * Winter is coming * "Stock Options" are a joke (vest after 5 years, only get appreciation rights) * They've been improving in processes but expect some new hurdle to jump through every couple of months to get your work done. It sucks, but some do actually work. A stupid one recently was a metric to get development into QA within 10 days of it being marked as complete. I've had logs where the quickest that was possible would be 100 hours of linear time.

Pros

Given immediate responsibility, work for industry leader, challenging and constantly changing work environment.

Cons

LONG hours (57 hour weeks are average across Implementation) with nearly 60% travel commitments. Not really a way out of Implementation unless you're willing to take a major pay cut.

Good intentions, but shortsighted

Pros

Challenging and interesting work. An ability to make a difference within healthcare. Excellent peers. Quick advancement for those who show they have what it takes.

Cons

Token adjustments from time to time that pretend to understand work life balance never quite get to the root issue. High turnover creates more work for those left behind which creates a domino effect of even more turnover. Management often full of themselves. Management advancement process opaque and a black box affair. CEO slightly crazy. But other high management types incredibly capable. Only trouble is, they take orders from a slightly crazy CEO. Things are getting better but IS are still considered replaceable. A greater focus on employee retention would go a long way to making this an incredible place to work. But maybe it's easier to exploit high-performing college graduates who had no idea what job to take after graduation.
